A lack of interest isn't as much of a danger to GA as the extremely
high cost of participation. Make GA inexpensive, and people will
flock to it. Right now, it's just too inaccessible.

It's inaccessible to many, but not most. Plenty of people who *could*
fly choose not to -- that is our target audience.

The other major danger to GA is the climate of fear that is turning
the U.S. and the world into a police state. GA will eventually be
regulated out of existence.

That's the least of our worries.

Given the attitudes that a great many male pilots have, I'm not
surprised that the women stay away. As a general rule, though, women
tend not to be interested in vehicles for their own sake.

It's not the airplanes -- it's the freedom. That's what we need to
accentuate.
